I'll need to find another approach here... I can see this causing spurious errors with packages built against different/incorrect library versions (i.e. I rebuild 1.0 as 1.01 then arch32 rebuild as 1.1 and it's not seen as a newer version).
I suppose you could collaborate so that they use 1.10 and you use 1.11 10 < 11 < 20
I _really_ don't want to start hacking makepkg to remove/bypass the "ERROR: pkgrel must be a decimal". Which parabola does, but they also have people who hack on makepkg, and if pacman started rejecting these packages they would be sufficiently motivated to maintain compatibility in in their own distribution. They make heavy use of this, so I guess it makes sense for internal use.
Anyway - this is OT and my own (self-inflicted?) problem.
